      No modding? LP for sure, because my favorite music to play, by far, is rawk!

      That said, I actually find a Tele more comfortable to play, and it does everything else that I play quite well.

      I have both.

        Les Paul all the way. I wanted one from the moment I first saw one. I also find the balance and the shorter scale to be the more comfortable to me. Mine is my go-to guitar and does everything I need it to do. Plus I just cannot stand the way Tele's look...

                Can you get it with a set neck? Maybe a carved maple top? Tune o'matic bridge? Shaped a little more LP like?
                Wait.... lol.
                At what point does it stop being a Tele and start becoming something else?

                  Some of these posts got me thinking of how when they first came out, the only difference between a Les Paul and a Tele was the feel and the master/dedicated controls. The best vintage Teles sounded like LPs and the best vintage LPs sounded like Teles.

                      As much as I love my Les Paul and have played it exclusively for over 20 years; I would surprisingly choose my Tele. It can do everything my LP does plus it’s own thing and it’s ridiculously durable.

                        Well, THAT'S not true at all.

                            Exactly. Too much grey and no black and white. So, there is no "Tele" perse. And the main difference between a Tele and a LP is the appearance.

                              If you truly believe that, then I have to ask you...have you ever seen a Tele or a LP (let alone played them)?

                              How do you expect anyone to ever take you seriously (and I know that you have given some excellent advice/suggestions on this forum before) if you make such an inaccurate all inclusive or exclusive statement?
